what commissioner silver's going to have to do is make a strong statement about what the national basketball associationnds for. this is important to its players, to its fans, to its sponsors, to the public at large, because the national basketball association represents more than a sports league. it represents an important institution in american life. it represents a league where african-american participation has been essential to the league, for more than 50 years. it represents a place where you now have african-american coaches in front office personnel, not at the levels we would expect. adam silver's got to make a strong statement, but he's also got to take strong action. he's got to do it quickly and be decisive. i think what he says today, i expect it to be more of a first step, not all of the action that the nba will need to take to correct this injustice. >> as you know, mark, we're a nation, we forgive people. if he came to you, and i'm sure he won't, but let's say he did, donald sterling, and said, mr. morial, what can i do to fix this? what would you tell him? >> well, there's always -- w
